In other police news, a fire at Terrace Apartments near Longwood on Tuesday was set deliberately, investigators said.

The blaze started after burning papers were placed on a shelf in a bedroom in an eight-unit apartment building off County Road 427 and William Street, Sgt. Paul Jaymes said. Paint also was strewn across the apartment's floor minutes before the fire, he said.

The fire, which caused $500 worth of damage, began at 1 p.m. and was extinguished 10 minutes later.
